College Scorecard reports school-wide earnings and price, not per-major outcomes for individual colleges. Program share is a concentration signal, not a promise of department quality. Use it as a proxy, then verify department-level outcomes with the school.
This page stays available for users because the program appears in federal data, but it is not promoted for search indexing while the reported share is below 1%.
Value among peer schools
Compared with 11 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is below the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($44 above), and ten-year median earnings are lower than the peer average ($1,939 below). That combination produces a C value grade and a top 55% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Philosophy, Politics, and Economics accounts for 0.5% of reported programs at Transylvania University, which is bigger than 64% of schools in this field set and below the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 5 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.

Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $54,705 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $1,939 below the $56,644 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
Start with program share, net price after aid, graduation rate, location, and whether the department publishes placement or licensure outcomes. EduGradify ranks Transylvania University #6 of 11 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
